Abstract

Acute adrenal hemorrhage is usually associated with an underlying pathology, which could be benign or malignant, functional or non-functional. This hemorrhage, associated with a rivaroxabán treatmet, is rare, since only 113 cases of adrenal bleeding have been reported in patients receiving treatment with this drug. There are also treatments that could infer a greater risk of suffering from it. Imaging tests such as CT are the choice for diagnosis and exclusion of other possible causes. Regarding treatment, initial conservative management is preferred as it allows determination of functional status and elective surgery, if necessary.
